| Apr 2, 2018 at 19:56 | comment | added | chrisl | For doing such a motion you would have to modulate the speed of the motors (essentially making the time between the pulses depending on a function). But the OP used it in a more simple way. I think the more complex functionality of drawing circles or anything else is out of the scope of this question. | |

| Apr 2, 2018 at 19:39 | comment | added | chrisl | I'm not sure how you mean this. In my understanding the driver goes one step, when it counts one pulse. You do pulses in a slow or faster series, depending on how fast the stepper should run. Surely it this not a method for high speed/high precision, but a way you can go, if the circumstances aren't too tough. Maybe I have misunderstood something how the driver works. Please correct me. I can then edit or remove my answer if it is wrong | |
